**Thomas** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:02:16): Dude. It is our one year anniversary. Spring break. It's been a tough run for viral sensation Clavicular. And this week, it got worse. **Chip** (00:00:10:05 - 00:00:11:23): Buffet facts bring in a back. Hard mission for week. Fish of the week. That time I passed out at that subway on La Cienega. **Thomas** (00:00:19:15 - 00:00:25:21): Yeah, that sandwich was right on top of you, buddy. **Chip** (00:00:25:23 - 00:00:37:16): Okay, so when all said and done, the entire block is destroyed. Yeah, three people are dead. 12 at least, are in the hospital. That's how we do it. The bus is just on fire. **Thomas** (00:00:37:16 - 00:00:38:10): Classic. **Chip** (00:00:38:11 - 00:00:45:09): People are looking at decades of jail time. But all in all, the best Saint Patrick's Day I've ever had. **Thomas** (00:00:45:09 - 00:00:50:13): Us Irish like to get down in a very intense way on Saint Patrick's Day. **Chip** (00:00:50:15 - 00:00:55:12): Yes they do. And, I'm part. A quarter of me likes to do that as well. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:00:55:12 - 00:00:57:13): 100% of me would have been. **Chip** (00:00:57:13 - 00:01:00:21): A light in that bus on fire. **Thomas** (00:01:00:23 - 00:01:22:23): Just for the heat. Oh, actually, Chip. We started recording already. What up? Everybody? This is the sunburnt podcast where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. To my right, we have Chip Chantry, you know, from Netflix. You know him from his Thanksgiving in Paradise. You know, from his amazing stand up special, Move Closer, Philadelphia's own chipper. **Chip** (00:01:23:01 - 00:01:40:17): And that, comedy special was directed by this guy right over here. Emmy Award winning producer, writer. He puts the decent in. I was arrested for indecent exposure during my audition for NBC's The Voice. Mister Thomas O'Brien. **Thomas** (00:01:40:19 - 00:01:42:22): I made those chairs. Spin, chip. **Chip** (00:01:42:23 - 00:01:52:07): You made them spin all the way around. It's the first time in the show's history where they turned around and then turned back around to shoot. To shield their view. 00:01:52:09 – 00:01:53:00 UNRESOLVED – I gave them a. **Thomas** (00:01:53:00 - 00:01:58:02): Shocking visual to go along with some very substandard pipes, buddy. 00:01:58:04 – 00:01:58:18 UNRESOLVED – What's the most amount of people you've ever sang in front of Chip? **Chip** (00:02:02:10 - 00:02:13:14): Probably a few hundred. Oh, wait, you were a choir kid. I was a choir kid. I was a theater kid. Okay, so I definitely sang in front of a I'd say like myself solo. Yeah, about 500. **Thomas** (00:02:13:15 - 00:02:15:12): Whoa. **Chip** (00:02:15:14 - 00:02:29:03): But I think it's. I wish I had known back then what you had told me from your, your situation, your your experience with the voice. If you don't have the pipes. Show them the pipe. 00:02:29:08 – 00:02:31:00 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Dude. **Thomas** (00:02:31:02 - 00:02:36:13): It's, it's one or the other. I say it's show business, baby. Yeah. You got to give him something. **Chip** (00:02:36:15 - 00:02:38:02): It's not tell business. **Thomas** (00:02:38:04 - 00:02:43:05): It's not tell business. Well, dude, we have an unbelievable show coming up. **Chip** (00:02:43:07 - 00:02:43:23): Chock full. **Thomas** (00:02:44:04 - 00:02:49:04): Chock full. I mean, like, oh. I'm going to read this rundown. It's almost an embarrassment of riches. **Chip** (00:02:49:05 - 00:02:49:16): Let's go. **Thomas** (00:02:49:16 - 00:02:53:17): We're talking about a record breaking spring break for the airlines coming up. **Chip** (00:02:53:18 - 00:02:55:07): Spring break. **Thomas** (00:02:55:08 - 00:03:02:20): People are going to be getting up in the air this spring break, baby. Yeah. Looks maxing icon. Clavicle air is back in the news. 00:03:02:22 – 00:03:03:06 UNRESOLVED – Oh. **Chip** (00:03:03:06 - 00:03:05:09): I don't even know what that means. **Thomas** (00:03:05:11 - 00:03:16:17): You're gonna find out, buddy. Vacations are getting shorter and quieter. We'll see how we feel about that. We're going to take a trip to the hypochondriac corner to find out why we think we're dying this week. **Chip** (00:03:16:17 - 00:03:17:22): If we're feeling well enough. **Thomas** (00:03:17:23 - 00:03:23:19): We're going to talk about, man, Jimmy Buffett. We got some Buffett facts coming up. We got another frickin. Fish of the week. First, show the world. Where we'll find out who our hero of the deep is. We're getting down with the good books of world records. And we have trouble in Paradise. You can leave us a voicemail at (310) 845-6038 and tell us your worst travel story. Your funniest, maybe inspirational, embarrassing. **Chip** (00:03:47:07 - 00:03:48:11): Craziest. **Thomas** (00:03:48:11 - 00:04:06:14): It hit us with it. And, if we use your story on air, you're going to get one of these bad boys. Your very own. Hawaiian Tropic is sheer touch. Speaking of Chip, we gotta. We gotta get a good old fashioned slather going right now. **Chip** (00:04:06:14 - 00:04:35:19): We slather this on the top. I am doing this slather. I will say this. I am doing it, in protest, sort of. Or. But also I'm just going to say out of, out of spite because, we have some sleet, rainy, gross, freezing weather outside today in Philadelphia. But the good news is that, by all accounts, it is winter's sad last grasp. It's last stand for the year, and it's going bye bye. After today, it starts to warm up. And I believe we are going up into the 70s on, next week. So, I, I'm hoping that this is the, the just the death rattle of winter, because I need some warmth. **Thomas** (00:04:53:11 - 00:04:59:20): It's so exciting. And the one thing I know about you, Chip, is, it can't all be sunshine and rainbows, right? **Chip** (00:04:59:20 - 00:05:00:08): No, it can't be. **Thomas** (00:05:00:09 - 00:05:11:01): When you move out of the ice, sleet season and into the sunny season, there is a hot couple of months where you are just an allergy season. **Chip** (00:05:11:03 - 00:05:21:14): It's just. Yeah, I am ready to be happy for about 48 hours, and then I'm just going to my sinuses are just going to shut down for about three fortnights. 00:05:21:16 – 00:05:22:05 UNRESOLVED – Oh my. **Thomas** (00:05:22:05 - 00:05:34:10): God. But dude, the suns come in and we slather not just for protection from the sun for the SPF, but, I believe that scent protects our minds. **Chip** (00:05:34:14 - 00:05:34:22): It really. **Thomas** (00:05:34:22 - 00:05:50:11): Does. From the cold, from the bitterness, from the things that ought to make us blue in this world. It get us lather going. And if you if you want the very sunscreen we use Hawaiian Tropic sheer. **Chip** (00:05:50:11 - 00:05:51:16): Touch could be yours. **Thomas** (00:05:51:16 - 00:05:54:21): (310) 845-6038. **Chip** (00:05:54:21 - 00:05:57:00): Say that one more time. Time and say that one more time. **Thomas** (00:05:57:00 - 00:06:07:00): (310) 845-6038. Or you can just send us a video of you telling the story. That's actually probably better for the podcast. **Chip** (00:06:07:01 - 00:06:10:13): Yeah, the visual portion at least. **Thomas** (00:06:10:15 - 00:06:15:22): If you want to send us that video, if we use it, you're going to get the sunscreen. **Chip** (00:06:16:00 - 00:06:16:07): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:06:16:07 - 00:06:32:22): What what an amazing trade off. You win and then you can slather with us anytime you want. All right everybody this is the sunburn podcast where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. If you think those two things should go together. Stay tuned baby. Front desk. **Chip** (00:06:32:22 - 00:06:37:09): Hi. This is Mr. Chantry in room 308. Could you have someone come up and escort me to the roof? **Thomas** (00:06:37:11 - 00:06:40:11): I'm sorry, Mr. Chantry. Guess I'm allowed on the roof. **Chip** (00:06:40:13 - 00:06:52:13): Oh. All right, well, then could you tell the crowd of people up front that they can all go home? Yeah, yeah, you might as well empty that baby pool that says Chip the Diving Wonder in the parking lot while you're at it. Chip Thomas. **Thomas** (00:06:52:13 - 00:07:02:13): Dude, it is our one year anniversary. One Year of Sunburnt podcast episode 52. The first one aired on March 6th. This is coming out March 5th. **Chip** (00:07:02:13 - 00:07:07:08): It's unreal. It it's been a year of ups and downs. **Thomas** (00:07:07:08 - 00:07:08:12): Yeah. **Chip** (00:07:08:14 - 00:07:13:03): A roller coaster of emotions, of sunny, sunny emotions. **Thomas** (00:07:13:05 - 00:07:14:14): Yeah. **Chip** (00:07:14:16 - 00:07:17:21): Just blistering sunny emotions. **Thomas** (00:07:17:23 - 00:07:37:06): What else do you expect from the Sun Burnt podcast? This has been the bright little piece of sunshine every single week we get to do it. And I thank you so much for doing with me, buddy. I've had the best time and I look forward to this like nobody could really understand. Yeah, I wake up at four in the morning to shoot this podcast, but. **Chip** (00:07:37:06 - 00:07:53:14): I just have to applaud you for that. And you were always even more bright and sunnier than I am. When I'm here at seven in the morning and it just it you just you just bring that sunshine to me. And I thank you for that. For 52 big episodes, one calendar year. **Thomas** (00:07:53:14 - 00:08:08:04): Oh, what fun. Just focusing on comedy and tropical travel, shutting out everything else in the world that doesn't quite suit us. To 52 episodes, one year hot dog sunburn is here to stay, baby. **Chip** (00:08:08:08 - 00:08:13:08): Let's do it, let's do it, let's do let's let's kick off year two in style. **Thomas** (00:08:13:10 - 00:08:20:02): All right, well, I think there's no better way to do it then. Segment, we call for the al go. **Chip** (00:08:20:02 - 00:08:20:22): For the al go. **Thomas** (00:08:20:22 - 00:08:25:20): This is the segment where we talk about things that we hope the algorithm will, like. **Chip** (00:08:25:20 - 00:08:26:19): Embrace us. **Thomas** (00:08:26:19 - 00:08:30:06): And will make our podcast be seen by more people. **Chip** (00:08:30:06 - 00:08:32:08): Maybe it'll embrace you to the listener as if. **Thomas** (00:08:32:08 - 00:08:35:04): The listeners matter. Isn't it really about the computers now, Chip? **Chip** (00:08:35:04 - 00:08:36:11): We're just ones and zeros. **Thomas** (00:08:36:11 - 00:08:44:19): We're getting the computers to get to you fine, folks, but we gotta get the computers. Because how do you find out about a tropical comedy podcast in 2026? **Chip** (00:08:44:19 - 00:08:47:07): It's not going to be for microwave oven, buddy. **Thomas** (00:08:47:09 - 00:08:49:15): No. It's going to be that algorithm. **Chip** (00:08:49:15 - 00:08:52:08): One of those PCs or MacBooks talking. **Thomas** (00:08:52:08 - 00:08:58:01): About some trending travel news here. Dude, there is going to be a spring break surge chip. **Chip** (00:08:58:01 - 00:09:02:22): No way. In in what VD d. 00:09:03:00 – 00:09:04:04 UNRESOLVED – Potentially. **Thomas** (00:09:04:06 - 00:09:17:16): Potentially, I hope not. I hope it's more just plane tickets being sold. They are estimating this spring break a record breaking 2.8 million passengers per day. That's over 26,000 daily flights. **Chip** (00:09:17:18 - 00:09:29:20): That's that's crazy. Just just to get away for a couple of days. I mean, it's not crazy. It makes sense. It's it's been a long, cold winter and people are ready and raring to hit that sand. Hit that beach. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:09:30:00 - 00:09:35:15): Those rays. Well, everything I saw was travel was down a little bit, but it looks like it's going to come roaring back people. **Chip** (00:09:35:16 - 00:09:37:19): Well they've been stopped for spring break. That's what it is. **Thomas** (00:09:37:21 - 00:09:38:03): Yep. **Chip** (00:09:38:03 - 00:09:45:15): Spring the ski weekend. I don't need to go skiing. Dad is going to lay on the beach and have a mai tai. **Thomas** (00:09:45:17 - 00:09:54:12): Yeah. And this year, specifically, travel travelers are reportedly prioritizing experience based trips over traditional relaxation. **Chip** (00:09:54:12 - 00:09:57:06): All right, so we're getting we're getting some accomplished during this vacation. What you're saying. Yeah, we're we're we're. **Thomas** (00:09:58:08 - 00:10:10:05): Doing something specific. Industry experts noticed people started wanting an entertainment event along with their beach chairs around November 26th, 2025. And it's. **Chip** (00:10:10:05 - 00:10:10:22): Just all. **Thomas** (00:10:10:23 - 00:10:19:18): Been spiraling upward since that day. Can you think of anything that happened November 6th or November 26th, 2025 that would have got people to want a little? **Chip** (00:10:19:18 - 00:10:28:07): I think I can share a little comedy show in Waikiki, Hawaii. Cheap Chanties Thanksgiving in Paradise, where. **Thomas** (00:10:28:07 - 00:10:37:08): People had the opportunity to have an unbelievable Thanksgiving week in Waikiki and see an amazing comedy show with the burnt ones. **Chip** (00:10:37:10 - 00:10:40:23): They got the indoors, they got the outdoors. It was the it was the perfect mix. **Thomas** (00:10:40:23 - 00:10:47:01): It really was a perfect mix. Dude, what a good time. And you started a trend, buddy. This is what's going on, people. **Chip** (00:10:47:01 - 00:10:47:17): Proud of myself. **Thomas** (00:10:47:22 - 00:10:49:02): Yeah, and that's fun. **Chip** (00:10:49:02 - 00:11:00:11): I'm proud of us. I should say that. Me? You're. I mean, yes, you're the heart and soul of times. I'm just the liver and kidneys here, but they are very vital organs. **Thomas** (00:11:00:12 - 00:11:09:16): They're all vital organs. You can't have one without the other. And, that's something I feel, too. It's like it's great to go, like travel. It's great to go on a trip. **Chip** (00:11:09:18 - 00:11:10:20): Yeah, but if there's. **Thomas** (00:11:10:20 - 00:11:21:20): That one extra thing, that one extra reason you're going, it makes it all the more sweeter. Like, you know, for a long time, I could go to Vegas for a weekend with my friends, and going to Vegas was enough to go. **Chip** (00:11:21:22 - 00:11:22:15): Sure. **Thomas** (00:11:22:17 - 00:11:33:21): But now, this day and age, if I'm going to go, there has to be, like a sporting event or a concert or, you know, something at, like a reason to be there that weekend, you know. Yeah. **Chip** (00:11:33:22 - 00:11:48:07): Well, it's it's kind of like me, like one time I went to Denver, and, like, I could have just gone for the skiing. But the real reason I was there is because, back in Philadelphia, I was wanted for arson. So it just gave me that extra reason to get is. I think that's what you're talking about, right? **Thomas** (00:11:48:07 - 00:11:50:09): It's the city slickers. One thing. **Chip** (00:11:50:09 - 00:11:56:19): It is. Yes. Thank you. Curly, wherever you are up in the sky. Who was your favorite city slicker? Was it Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, or, the third guy? I'm going to come up with his name. It has. He's. It's kind of a weird name. He's unfortunately no longer with us. Oh. What's his name, anyway? He's the third guy who who's your favorite slicker? **Thomas** (00:12:14:10 - 00:12:17:21): I mean, of those three, it's going to be stern. **Chip** (00:12:17:23 - 00:12:19:13): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:12:19:15 - 00:12:27:16): But, God, what was his name? What was his name? Do you know who played the little kid and city slicker? **Chip** (00:12:27:18 - 00:12:33:14): No, I don't I don't remember it was. Was it a Lawrence brother? I'm going to guess a Lawrence brother. **Thomas** (00:12:33:14 - 00:12:40:23): I mean, even more surprising because of the trajectory. Yeah. It was a Jake Gyllenhaal. **Chip** (00:12:41:01 - 00:12:41:16): No way. **Thomas** (00:12:41:20 - 00:12:44:22): Yeah. Jake Gyllenhaal was his. His kid. **Chip** (00:12:45:00 - 00:12:48:01): A little, little tiny Donnie Darko. **Thomas** (00:12:48:03 - 00:13:09:15): Well, I just, I remember I watched that movie maybe five, six years ago, and I was, I didn't remember it, as a kid because, like, why would you. But, like, everybody was just so cynical. It was just like this New York attitude of, like, nothing's enough. And really, like, following my own selfish desires over my family and everything else. That led them out there to, To the old, What do you call it? Cattle drive. **Chip** (00:13:16:03 - 00:13:16:18): The cattle drive? **Thomas** (00:13:16:18 - 00:13:22:21): Yeah, to the cattle drive. So, Yeah, a little bit of a bummer, but, I think stern, I remember him. **Chip** (00:13:22:22 - 00:13:25:15): Bruno Kirby. Bruno Kirby is the other one, right? **Thomas** (00:13:25:15 - 00:13:26:14): Kirby. That's a deep. 00:13:26:15 – 00:13:27:14 UNRESOLVED – Ball, dude, I would I. **Chip** (00:13:27:14 - 00:13:32:22): Knew it. I knew was a weird name. Bruno Kirby. He was also in Good Morning Vietnam, amongst other things. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:13:32:23 - 00:13:41:15): He's great. I mean, talented actor, but he's one of those, that guy, you see him and you're like, that's that's. I know that face. Yeah, I know the face of that guy. **Chip** (00:13:41:16 - 00:13:47:01): When it comes to slickers, I'm also going stern. I'm firmly in the stern camp, I love it. **Thomas** (00:13:47:03 - 00:13:50:05): Yeah, yeah. Stern. I mean, also a wet bandit, right? **Chip** (00:13:50:07 - 00:13:55:18): Totally a wet bandit. And, also the voice of Kevin Arnold on The Wonder Years. **Thomas** (00:13:55:20 - 00:13:56:22): Really? **Chip** (00:13:57:00 - 00:14:01:01): Yeah. He's the, he's the narrator. The guy on the Wonder Years that, you know, just all the the. Nah, I. **Thomas** (00:14:01:01 - 00:14:02:10): Had I had no idea. **Chip** (00:14:02:13 - 00:14:04:08): I was. I was old Diaz right there. **Thomas** (00:14:04:12 - 00:14:06:19): A little Diaz. Beautiful baby. **Chip** (00:14:06:21 - 00:14:10:10): Diaz got some trouble, I don't think I don't. You got a little trouble. **Thomas** (00:14:10:12 - 00:14:14:12): I mean, don't it hasn't everybody at this point. Okay, everybody. **Chip** (00:14:14:13 - 00:14:36:08): Here's what I. Here's what made me love Daniel Stern even more. Okay. Again, I don't disparage the man because I think this is a legality thing, but he was apparently. I mean, it was it was in the news in recent weeks, that he was arrested, I believe, for, let's just say, soliciting, the a company of a, of a gal. **Thomas** (00:14:36:12 - 00:14:36:23): Yep. **Chip** (00:14:37:01 - 00:15:06:19): For an evening. Okay. And that was apparently he was arrested for that. And apparently the charges have been dropped. So I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I believe that's what they lead the charge to drop it. Like, what a refreshing crime for someone to commit. Yeah. Today's day and age. You know it. Yeah. Like you ever see, do you ever see, like, a headshot of, like an an actor that, you know, that you know, that you really like, or maybe Josh or whatever you like? Oh, no. This is, it's like, oh, they were shoplifting. And you're like, good job, buddy. Yeah, great. Great work. **Thomas** (00:15:13:06 - 00:15:17:18): Yeah, yeah. That's good. Yeah. There we are. In a time of. Atrocities. Yeah, from. From our celebrity hero. So. **Chip** (00:15:21:11 - 00:15:32:11): So a little, little crime here and there. Little Daniel Stern, you know, get a little. Get a little too crazy on a Saturday. Saturday night. It's like, thank God he's he's he's the wet bandit in in our hearts. **Thomas** (00:15:32:13 - 00:15:37:01): Yeah. And he's, the wet bandit at the Sacramento police station. **Chip** (00:15:37:03 - 00:15:40:19): Up there. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:15:40:21 - 00:15:43:17): You know what they call that being a John chip? **Chip** (00:15:43:19 - 00:15:47:05): Yeah, but it's a John Stern right there. **Thomas** (00:15:47:05 - 00:15:53:09): He's. Yeah, he's a stern. Yeah. But a, that night, he was a John allegedly. **Chip** (00:15:53:11 - 00:15:56:04): Allegedly. Yes. Because apparently charges were dropped. **Thomas** (00:15:56:06 - 00:16:04:04): Yeah. Glad to hear it. Moving on. A little viral news. Chip. You know how I love a little viral news. **Chip** (00:16:04:06 - 00:16:08:14): Man, he you couldn't stop talking about Covid. 00:16:08:16 – 00:16:11:07 UNRESOLVED – It's all I wanted to talk about. **Thomas** (00:16:11:09 - 00:16:34:18): It's been a tough run for viral sensation. Clever killer. A few weeks ago, he got framed by an ASU frat leader. And this week it got worse. I'm sure you've seen it everywhere. Poor clavicle. Or got hog mugged at an Equinox and Rittenhouse neighborhood of Philadelphia by a dong maxing length named a longitude. **Chip** (00:16:34:20 - 00:16:35:14): Longitude. **Thomas** (00:16:35:14 - 00:16:41:17): The photo has gone viral. Pretty shocking stuff. Yeah. Can you imagine getting hog mugged? **Chip** (00:16:41:19 - 00:16:50:13): I mean, got high blocked by this guy's prime meridian. I don't I wouldn't want to be that guy. I wouldn't it would be clever killer. **Thomas** (00:16:50:15 - 00:17:14:04): Dude. Equinox. You can't really tell where it's happening. Like, is it in a locker room situation? Is it just like, against a non-descript wall at the gym? But it's like, definitely, you know, it's, censored, right? So you can't see what's going on, but you can definitely see that, like, cleavage is getting mocked and it's not going well. Dude. No, this is so, so bizarre. And I just have to. **Chip** (00:17:19:05 - 00:17:24:14): You could tell it was definitely the spring equinox. I will say that, 00:17:24:15 – 00:17:26:19 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, that. **Thomas** (00:17:26:21 - 00:17:31:10): I will say, dude, but, Rittenhouse, you're familiar with Rittenhouse, right? Philadelphia neighborhood. **Chip** (00:17:31:12 - 00:17:34:22): Very homey. Helium comedy club. **Thomas** (00:17:35:00 - 00:17:37:12): Oh, is it really? That's where the club is. Well. **Chip** (00:17:37:14 - 00:17:40:21): Then it's also where all the rich. It's where other rich people are, too. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:17:40:23 - 00:17:45:01): I've heard that it makes sense. Equinox is a very high end gym. **Chip** (00:17:45:01 - 00:17:45:21): Very fancy gym. **Thomas** (00:17:45:21 - 00:18:05:22): Curricula reportedly makes like, hundreds of thousands of dollars a month or whatever doing his thing. He's, For my understanding, he's probably a genius. He has a cell phone and a computer and the internet and has figured out a way to make millions of dollars. Using all the same tools we all have available to us and just do nothing with. **Chip** (00:18:06:00 - 00:18:09:05): Sounds pretty cool. You're telling me? I will say, **Thomas** (00:18:09:07 - 00:18:14:18): But I have to ask you, Chip. You know anything about this longitude, fella? **Chip** (00:18:14:20 - 00:18:21:21): Let's just say I can't confirm or deny. I know this this gentleman, and he's a I will say he is a he is definitely a gentleman. **Thomas** (00:18:21:21 - 00:18:24:00): So is he. Yeah. I think it's, It's either a gentleman, but, like, is he somebody maybe who's, like a contact in your phone type of person? **Chip** (00:18:31:16 - 00:18:41:02): Let's, let's just say that, that right here, there may or may not be, somebody in my L's right now. That's all I got to say. **Thomas** (00:18:41:04 - 00:18:49:21): Let me just ask you this. A more pointed question, chip, is, longitude. Somebody who, your gas bill might be addressed to. **Chip** (00:18:49:23 - 00:18:56:22): I can't confirm nor deny that interest. Yeah, that's all I got to say about that. **Thomas** (00:18:57:00 - 00:19:11:03): Well, I I it sounds like you know who he is. I want to know who he is. I would love to have him on the podcast. We should try one, and maybe we can get him on. If you can make that happen. I think that would be really good for everybody. You know, they call him the Natty ni knocker. Chip. **Chip** (00:19:12:16 - 00:19:16:01): I did not know that, but that it seems very fitting. **Thomas** (00:19:16:02 - 00:19:20:09): Longitude a a viral dog maxing length. **Chip** (00:19:20:09 - 00:19:27:03): Lord, I mean, that's it. That's really. I hate to say it, but that is a mouthful. **Thomas** (00:19:27:05 - 00:19:31:05): It sure, sure would be. All right. Longitude, if you're out there, come on. The budget hearing about it, we're we're we're going to the audience. We're not we're not trying to hang you out to dry. We're not going to put you on the spot. We just. **Chip** (00:19:41:10 - 00:19:43:15): You've already hung yourself out to dry. **Thomas** (00:19:43:17 - 00:19:53:14): Yes, we know you Maxis are having a, time period. And this is for the algo. We want to, get a little of that rub. You know? **Chip** (00:19:53:17 - 00:19:54:06): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:19:54:08 - 00:19:55:21): A little of the back rub. **Chip** (00:19:55:23 - 00:19:58:01): Yeah, the rub that, Max. **Thomas** (00:19:58:03 - 00:20:00:02): All right, back to travel. Chip. **Chip** (00:20:00:04 - 00:20:01:03): Back to it. **Thomas** (00:20:01:05 - 00:20:02:10): New trends. Travel. **Chip** (00:20:02:10 - 00:20:05:03): Let's go. Let's go from longitude to little attitudes. **Thomas** (00:20:05:05 - 00:20:12:15): Exactly the platitudes. That's how I remembered it. Latitude is flat. That's the horizontal longitude. The up and down. **Chip** (00:20:12:17 - 00:20:13:23): Yes. **Thomas** (00:20:14:01 - 00:20:20:23): New trend. And you're going to recognize a pattern here. Last week we had hushed trips where. People were going on vacations. That sounded boring. And we're kind of reframing that as, like, a big positive. Yeah. So this week we're talking about two other trends. The first is the micro trip, and these are going off the charts popular. It's a trend surfacing this week, where trips are anchored in a single specific experience, like flying to a concert or a one day food festival, rather than a week long stay. **Chip** (00:20:51:05 - 00:20:54:08): Or just, like, a Trader Joe's. That's really cool. **Thomas** (00:20:54:09 - 00:21:01:21): I don't I want to see a cool grocery store that has almost nothing you need for a full meal. **Chip** (00:21:01:23 - 00:21:02:05): **Thomas** (00:21:02:21 - 00:21:15:06): That would be a nice trip. But people are doing these very specific trips. And they're keeping them short. In other words, unlike longitude. **Chip** (00:21:15:08 - 00:21:17:05): Like longitude. **Thomas** (00:21:17:07 - 00:21:20:13): In other words, ship. We're all poor, right? That's what this is. **Chip** (00:21:20:13 - 00:21:26:03): I think that's what it is. Yeah. There's these microchips. Yeah. It's like, oh, I also just have a micro house. Yeah. It's tiny. I can't afford a mansion. **Thomas** (00:21:29:03 - 00:21:29:20): I hate. Space, I hate elbow. Room, gym. **Chip** (00:21:33:17 - 00:21:43:12): Oh, yeah. It's that's. Yeah. You just you just went away for a couple hours. I don't know what constitutes a vacation, but, I know that's a day trip. That's. **Thomas** (00:21:43:15 - 00:21:46:13): Yeah. And I'll take a day trip. I'll take a day trip. But this. **Chip** (00:21:46:13 - 00:21:46:19): Trip. **Thomas** (00:21:47:01 - 00:22:05:23): Love a day trip. Love a long weekend. But framing that as a replacement for a vacation. And it's largely stemming from Gen Z, having no paid time off and not having the ability. Like we've talked about it before, most people don't even feel comfortable using the paid time they've accrued. **Chip** (00:22:06:01 - 00:22:23:14): They get guilted into staying. Yeah, well, it's like it it is like this micro vacation for like a very specific thing. It's like, hey, I'm going to go see a concert that I really want to see. My favorite band is playing at Red rocks. So I'm gonna go out there, I'm going to see the concert, and then I'm going to stay out there and tour around for a couple of days. Check it all out. They can't afford that end of it. They're like, I can afford to get to Red rocks, see the show, turn around, head on home. **Thomas** (00:22:31:20 - 00:22:54:19): Which sounds awesome. And like I, I'm telling you, that was a staple of like, my early trips was you find something cool, you do a long weekend, you get the boys out there. But it is that that was just like that was a weekend, right? That wasn't a vacation. It's kind of like, I'm going on a micro vacation this weekend. My Aunt Edna is moving into hospice. **Chip** (00:22:58:23 - 00:23:00:07): Sorry to hear that. **Thomas** (00:23:00:09 - 00:23:01:02): Yeah. **Chip** (00:23:01:04 - 00:23:06:22): That's. Yeah, that's not as, it's not exactly red. Red rocks, if you know what I'm saying. **Thomas** (00:23:06:22 - 00:23:17:05): Yeah, well, I mean, it depends on how she got into hospice. If it was a trip in her rocky backyard. Right. A slip and fall in the rocky backyard, maybe it is her red rocks. **Chip** (00:23:17:09 - 00:23:21:16): Did she get frame mugged really hard, right? Yeah. **Thomas** (00:23:21:18 - 00:23:30:06): Oh, God. No, no, that's better not. You better not hug my Aunt Linda. No, no. Oh, no, not the hug bug. **Chip** (00:23:30:09 - 00:23:32:10): Not the hog mark, baby. **Thomas** (00:23:32:12 - 00:23:55:22): All right, another travel trend. Chip hospitality should be quiet. I'm trying to have a vacation over here. More travelers are opting for digital detox destinations. Locations like Iceland, Alaska and the Canadian Rockies are seeing a spike in bookings for quiet escapes, the prioritize silence nature, and a lack of cell phone connectivity. **Chip** (00:23:56:00 - 00:23:59:13): I love it that that is my type of vacay right there. **Thomas** (00:23:59:19 - 00:24:13:06): There are certain vacations that are being, packaged as a readers holiday where you just get a quiet room and a little space outdoors, and everybody there is just there to read some books. **Chip** (00:24:13:08 - 00:24:16:23): Daddy's got a stack of books right now that I need to get through. **Thomas** (00:24:16:23 - 00:24:18:11): You got a thick stack. **Chip** (00:24:18:13 - 00:24:20:09): Thick stack? I got a thick stack of books. **Thomas** (00:24:20:09 - 00:24:22:21): Have you touched the one about the motor yet, Chip? **Chip** (00:24:22:23 - 00:24:49:16): I have not, because that's because I have my stack of books. That's probably my next one, though. Then I'm going to start, though, so I'm very excited about it. But I just I just wrapped up a book and wrapping it up. I will say this, I'm reading a script right now. Oh, for it, for a friend who wrote a screenplay, I don't think I can name him, but I will say that he is one of our callers for, Trouble in Paradise. **Thomas** (00:24:49:21 - 00:24:52:23): I think I know who it is. Does it rhyme with me? **Chip** (00:24:52:23 - 00:24:54:06): Not be surprised, does it? **Thomas** (00:24:54:06 - 00:24:54:13): Right. **Chip** (00:24:54:13 - 00:24:55:17): Well, not be surprised. **Thomas** (00:24:55:19 - 00:24:57:11): If I go to Apatow. **Chip** (00:24:57:13 - 00:25:15:06): I think maybe Bud Apatow is the name. Just not to not to mix it up. But. Yeah, but once I'm done that, I'm jumping into a, a new book and I did start a couple pages of a book, but I might, I might then the, the Moto one was going to be next, but maybe I might just leapfrog that. We shall see. **Thomas** (00:25:16:12 - 00:25:18:17): I mean, it depends on how you're feeling. Down with. **Chip** (00:25:18:17 - 00:25:23:02): Yes. I need to take a I need to take a hush or whatever the hell you call. 00:25:23:03 – 00:25:26:02 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, yeah, that's what you wanted. You got? What was it. **Thomas** (00:25:27:02 - 00:25:28:18): A hush creation? Hush fatality. **Chip** (00:25:30:08 - 00:25:41:12): Hospitality. Yeah. I knew it was a little. Yeah. Word it a little bit better. Yeah. A vacation, that's what I would call it. A vacation. Vacation on. **Thomas** (00:25:41:14 - 00:25:53:20): The library. Vacation? If you want to experience a hospitality trip at home, try switching to sprint. Where? In my neighborhood, you'll never have to worry about your phone working again. **Chip** (00:25:53:21 - 00:26:05:01): Exactly. You your your coverage will be dropped faster than longitude. Shorts. **Thomas** (00:26:05:02 - 00:26:07:04): Or a myth. Voice. **Chip** (00:26:07:06 - 00:26:09:06): Either one. I mean. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:26:09:08 - 00:26:12:16): Well, we've had a lot of dropping travel content. This, this podcast. **Chip** (00:26:14:11 - 00:26:17:11): Apologies to the listener. The trails are not staying up this week. **Thomas** (00:26:17:11 - 00:26:18:16): Apparently. I know no. Belts on the podcast this. **Chip** (00:26:20:21 - 00:26:23:13): Week. We're getting a Nobel Peace Prize and. **Thomas** (00:26:23:13 - 00:26:29:07): Nobel Peace Prize. We're going to have to get somebody else to win it and then gift it to us. **Chip** (00:26:29:07 - 00:26:32:05): That's how it works around here for these Nobel Peace Prize winners. **Thomas** (00:26:32:09 - 00:26:51:15): This is actually, a pretty solid fact about hospitality. Roughly 57% of US travelers now say they're interested in a silent retreat this year, prioritizing a mental reset over traditional sightseeing. It feels right. That feels like in line with the times. To me, that feels like an accurate statement. **Chip** (00:26:51:17 - 00:27:19:07): Yeah. Well, and then there is, I mean, it runs into I think it goes hand in hand pretty well. There is out in central Pennsylvania, there is a really nice it is like a what do you call it, like a silent retreat. Like a retreat. Yeah. So there's a, there's a beautiful former farm that is a silent retreat in Pennsylvania where people go and they literally I mean, there's basically zero talking, very little talking. It's silent meditation. Unfortunately, it's right next to, the land that I just purchased where I am starting my first air horn farm, where people can just come run around the field with, I give them air horns and they just shoot off air horns as much as they want. It's literally right next to the silent retreat. But, you know, I think we all have to coexist, as the bumper sticker says. **Thomas** (00:27:46:13 - 00:28:00:02): Yeah. And, you can't you can't withhold your air. Horner's catharsis. You know how I don't know. There's two different ways to blow off steam. One is to retreat. Retreat into serenity, and the other one is to make a racket body. 00:28:00:02 – 00:28:01:08 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Chip** (00:28:01:10 - 00:28:05:06): And, we'll just see which one wins out. **Thomas** (00:28:05:08 - 00:28:10:19): Yeah. And this is the deal that you, remortgage your house for, right. **Chip** (00:28:10:21 - 00:28:18:17): I did and I think it's going really well. Most of it has gone into just purchasing crates and crates of air horns. **Thomas** (00:28:18:22 - 00:28:19:18): **Chip** (00:28:19:20 - 00:28:29:15): Because I mean, once you hear the air horns, you don't really think about other amenities. You think that's the thing that's really concerned about how fluffy the towels are? **Thomas** (00:28:29:17 - 00:28:31:14): No. The promise is in the name. **Chip** (00:28:31:16 - 00:28:33:15): Yeah, yeah. **Thomas** (00:28:33:17 - 00:28:39:07): So, well, I mean, best of luck to you, man. I hope that really works out. That sounds like a, gold mine. **Chip** (00:28:39:09 - 00:28:42:15): Yeah, but. And best of luck to the silent retrievers. Right next door to. **Thomas** (00:28:42:16 - 00:28:47:15): When something's popping off like a silent retreat. You got to invest in the opposite. 00:28:47:17 – 00:28:49:13 UNRESOLVED – Yes. Okay. You've got to invest in the opposite. Something very loud, very annoying. Air horns and kazoos. I really, really appreciate what you're doing there, but thank you. But as with all good things, we gotta keep it moving because it's time for the hypochondriac corner. **Chip** (00:29:06:21 - 00:29:09:15): Champ cornered in baby hypochondriac corner. **Thomas** (00:29:09:15 - 00:29:10:09): I'm coming in. Hot with a little, just a little. **Chip** (00:29:13:14 - 00:29:14:22): Let me get so low grade fever. **Thomas** (00:29:14:22 - 00:29:19:04): So low grade. It's imperceptible to a thermometer. But I know it's there. **Chip** (00:29:19:04 - 00:29:20:20): But you know it. Maybe. **Thomas** (00:29:20:22 - 00:29:25:11): Okay, here's what happened. Dude, pickle boy's getting rowdy this weekend. **Chip** (00:29:25:14 - 00:29:26:12): All right. **Thomas** (00:29:26:14 - 00:29:34:00): All right. We didn't play on Saturday. We had to play on Sunday. But, hey, it was the first pickleball session of World War three. You know what I mean? **Chip** (00:29:34:02 - 00:29:34:21): Hey, we're in it. **Thomas** (00:29:34:21 - 00:29:55:16): We're in it. Yeah, we're in it. So we had to go and, daddy took a real nice smash to the thumb. Oh, ball hit right on this knuckle. And when I was driving home, I noticed it had already started to bruise, which got my mind thinking. And this is the first thought in my mind. Oh, no. My body's lost. The ability to clot blood. And it was less than one hour later, I had showered. I was at home. I was sitting on the couch, felt a little twinge in my calf muscle, and I thought, oh no, my body has overcompensated and become too good at clotting blood. This is probably a blood clot in my leg. **Chip** (00:30:18:13 - 00:30:20:12): But the clot got lost. **Thomas** (00:30:20:14 - 00:30:21:01): Yeah. **Chip** (00:30:21:03 - 00:30:28:15): It didn't have MapQuest. You know, it didn't have, Google Maps. Yeah. I was like, I should clot right here in the, right by the Achilles. **Thomas** (00:30:28:17 - 00:30:36:04): It was going to really make some moves, but fortunately, that clot used a sprint chip. **Chip** (00:30:36:06 - 00:30:37:00): And, **Thomas** (00:30:37:02 - 00:30:51:22): It was out of service and out of answers and had to sit where it lied. But no, I got to I got to go on that ride of, like, legitimately. Two real thoughts I had in my mind within an hour was maybe my body can't clot blood anymore. Maybe my body is too good at clotting blood. **Chip** (00:30:51:23 - 00:30:58:13): It's one extreme or the other. And that's the best part about being a hypochondriac. How is your calf and your knuckle right now? **Thomas** (00:30:58:15 - 00:31:01:02): You're going to, be shocked. They're both great. **Chip** (00:31:01:04 - 00:31:02:14): Of course. Of course. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:31:02:16 - 00:31:05:20): That's good. But like I did, I did have that moment. I thought that would be fun to share. **Chip** (00:31:05:20 - 00:31:11:12): It's all about extremes when it comes to hypochondria and that's, that's my story this week. **Thomas** (00:31:11:14 - 00:31:12:09): Yeah. **Chip** (00:31:12:11 - 00:31:37:08): Is that here's the thing. Just a little hypochondria is a good thing. Yeah. It's it's good to keep the body healthy. Milk does a body good. We know that. We learned that in the commercials from the 80s. Yeah, but you want to stay healthy. You don't want to, let's say, die or become incapacitated. So that's why you don't jump off a ten storey building. Yeah. I think I've been disengaging from my hypochondria a little bit, which is good, right? **Thomas** (00:31:42:08 - 00:31:42:17): Yeah. **Chip** (00:31:42:18 - 00:31:52:17): Which is I've been feeling really good about this. Like, it's I'm not like, crazy about it like I was, but then I just realized I was like, oh, I've also been eating like a lunatic. **Thomas** (00:31:52:23 - 00:31:53:11): Yeah. **Chip** (00:31:53:16 - 00:32:09:08): Recently. Yeah. Because that sometimes I was like, I can't have too much this. Oh, I'm going to get my blood sugar, my this or that's going to, I'm going to have a heart attack or whatever. And then I'm like, oh, I'm feeling good. And then it goes to that extreme where I'm like, oh, I'm really just eating like a jerk right now. And then all of a sudden did just like, all alarms go off and like, you're terrible at death Is around the corner because you have an extra piece of chocolate cake. And now I'm like, all right, okay, now, now I need to readjust that hypochondria just enough where I'm like, all right, stay on the straight. Narrow. **Thomas** (00:32:26:06 - 00:32:43:07): Yeah. Therapist call it that Goldilocks level of hypochondria. It's not too much. It's not too little. It's like not scaring you so you can't, get out of bed in the morning because the world's dangerous. But it's also keeping you from licking subway grates. Yep. **Chip** (00:32:43:09 - 00:32:46:02): Okay. It got to me right in the center. And, like they say, is this fat free porridge? You know, just just to make sure. **Thomas** (00:32:51:19 - 00:32:53:20): Yeah, yeah. You want a nice fat free porridge? **Chip** (00:32:54:01 - 00:32:55:05): A nice bowl of porridge? **Thomas** (00:32:55:06 - 00:32:58:01): I don't know, dude. Is it just oatmeal? Is it soggy oatmeal? **Chip** (00:32:58:01 - 00:33:04:16): I don't know, I don't know what those bears do in their kitchens. It's. No, no, it's not. It's none of my business what bears do in the comfort of their own kitchens. **Thomas** (00:33:04:16 - 00:33:18:07): If they're in their fiber maxing, if they are. Yeah. Oatmeal classically lowers cholesterol. At least that's what my father was told by his doctor 30 years ago. And sure eats oatmeal every morning for breakfast since. 00:33:18:08 – 00:33:19:07 UNRESOLVED – So maybe, I mean, maybe that's what. What's up? I mean. **Chip** (00:33:22:12 - 00:33:27:01): Bears, bears historically have great cholesterol levels. For people. Who for for animals who eat in the garbage. **Thomas** (00:33:29:23 - 00:33:37:05): For. And we'll see it. Garbage. They're very healthy. And also like, have you ever seen anybody sleep better than a bear? No. **Chip** (00:33:37:07 - 00:33:38:16): They can go for weeks. **Thomas** (00:33:38:16 - 00:33:49:10): Months, even. I woke up five times last night and I was only in bed for five hours. Maybe I need a little more porridge in this. **Chip** (00:33:49:12 - 00:33:55:11): I did have. Not that this is a good thing, because you're waking up super early in the morning to do this podcast. Thomas. Yeah, and we all appreciate that. **Thomas** (00:33:55:11 - 00:33:56:05): Oh, I love it, dude. **Chip** (00:33:56:06 - 00:34:02:13): I did experience something kind of amazing last night where I went to bed. It was probably like 11 p.m.. **Thomas** (00:34:02:19 - 00:34:03:18): Yeah. **Chip** (00:34:03:20 - 00:34:20:17): I had I did a little bit of work last night and left p m, went to, went to bed and then woke up and was like, oh, it's probably like 530, like time to get up or whatever. And I looked and it was 115. Yeah. And it's it's kind of it's just like it's like a reprieve from the governor. You know, where you're just like, oh, I've only slept for about an hour or so now. I still have another 4 to 5 hours to go. And it's, it's a it's a great feeling. **Thomas** (00:34:29:05 - 00:34:40:00): That is a very good feeling. I get it a lot on early mornings. I get it a lot in the morning. I wake, I wake up and there's something in my mind. It's like I probably have 5 to 10 minutes left before I need to get out of this bad. **Chip** (00:34:40:01 - 00:34:43:12): Before, as they say, before you get alarm marked. **Thomas** (00:34:43:14 - 00:35:05:03): Yes. Alarm locked. There's no, daylight equation at this time in the morning. Right. So, like, I can't see I have nothing to go off of other than just what my internal clock is telling me. And every time I wake up, I assume if I don't assume I just miss my alarm and check the phone immediately, I assume I've got 5 to 10 minutes. And eventually when I check it, oftentimes there will be 3 or 4 hours left. **Chip** (00:35:10:13 - 00:35:19:17): And you know it. You know what they say happens when you assume you make an ass out of you and longitude. **Thomas** (00:35:19:19 - 00:35:25:18): God, I, I don't know. Do you think longitude cares at all? How confident must that guy be. **Chip** (00:35:25:20 - 00:35:29:11): If he's walking around Rittenhouse like that? Yes. Man has confidence. **Thomas** (00:35:29:14 - 00:35:31:13): A length lord, they're saying yes. **Chip** (00:35:31:15 - 00:35:32:18): Yes. 00:35:32:20 – 00:35:33:10 UNRESOLVED – What is? **Thomas** (00:35:33:12 - 00:35:34:19): What's happening with us? **Chip** (00:35:34:19 - 00:35:36:02): I have no idea. What are. **Thomas** (00:35:36:02 - 00:35:39:02): Words? Yeah. Dong maxing length. Word. 00:35:39:04 – 00:35:39:15 UNRESOLVED – Longitude. We got to get him on the podcast. If you know him, you got to get him on the podcast. He's hog mugging people. **Chip** (00:35:45:17 - 00:35:46:20): Yeah. Yes, he is. **Thomas** (00:35:46:20 - 00:35:49:09): Well, that's it for the hypochondriac corner. **Chip** (00:35:49:11 - 00:35:52:03): We got past it. We. And we lived. I'm so. **Thomas** (00:35:52:03 - 00:36:00:03): Excited. It's time to get back into one of my favorite segments of all time. It's Buffett facts, baby Buffett facts. **Chip** (00:36:00:03 - 00:36:01:15): Bringing them back hard. **Thomas** (00:36:01:16 - 00:36:05:22): Bringing a battleship. What's your Buffett fact today? **Chip** (00:36:06:00 - 00:36:15:09): Jimmy Buffett never cried. Sometimes his eyes just returned saltwater to the ocean. **Thomas** (00:36:15:11 - 00:36:16:07): It's the circle. Of, water life. **Chip** (00:36:17:22 - 00:36:20:23): It really is. It's it is. It's the circle of life. **Thomas** (00:36:21:00 - 00:36:23:13): Yeah, there's just like that. **Chip** (00:36:23:15 - 00:36:36:05): Is he. I believe that's what Elton John originally wrote that song for Jimmy Buffett. Wow. And then they were like, oh, no, let's we we have this animated movie about the safaris. **Thomas** (00:36:36:07 - 00:36:40:07): It just makes sense that he would be so at one with the ocean, you know? **Chip** (00:36:40:11 - 00:36:42:16): Yeah, just giving it back. **Thomas** (00:36:42:16 - 00:36:46:04): Just part of the cycle. The Buffett's the ocean. Paradox. **Chip** (00:36:46:04 - 00:36:49:00): Thomas, what is your Jimmy Buffett effect? **Thomas** (00:36:49:02 - 00:36:55:20): Jimmy Buffett didn't hate snowmen. He liked their carrot noses, coal eyes and corncob pipes. **Chip** (00:36:55:22 - 00:36:56:07): **Thomas** (00:36:56:07 - 00:36:59:19): He did hate their temperature. **Chip** (00:36:59:22 - 00:37:04:04): That's cold. That's cool. It felt so. **Thomas** (00:37:04:04 - 00:37:07:17): Good to put on those Jimmy Buffett facts again. It's been a minute dude. **Chip** (00:37:07:23 - 00:37:09:19): Really did. Felt like an old sweatshirt. **Thomas** (00:37:09:23 - 00:37:22:04): Celebrating the man an old cardigan. Not too heavy because it's in a tropical climate. But Chip, you know what time it is now. I mean, it's I am getting excited. It's time for. **Chip** (00:37:22:06 - 00:37:25:17): Fish of the week. Fish of the week. **Thomas** (00:37:25:17 - 00:37:30:07): Every week we single out one saltwater superstar to be our sunburned. Fish of the week. **Chip** (00:37:31:13 - 00:37:32:21): Our hero of the deep. Our hero of the deep. Chip. **Thomas** (00:37:35:15 - 00:37:38:23): I can't wait to hear about this week's fish. **Chip** (00:37:39:01 - 00:37:45:06): This week's fish is Jeffrey. Oh, that is a Jeffrey with a G. **Thomas** (00:37:45:08 - 00:37:46:11): Okay. Good, good, good. **Chip** (00:37:46:11 - 00:37:50:05): This is Jeffrey, the golden striped soap fish. **Thomas** (00:37:50:07 - 00:37:52:21): Whoa. He. **Chip** (00:37:52:22 - 00:38:05:10): Jeffrey's dark brown with about a half a dozen white yellow horizontal stripes on him. Okay. And I gotta tell you, horizontal stripes are not in this season, but Jeffrey wears them well. **Thomas** (00:38:05:12 - 00:38:12:02): Oh, my gosh, you got to have the right frame to pull off those horizontals. I bet Jeffrey could frame Mark. **Chip** (00:38:12:04 - 00:38:18:08): Totally. Frame Mark, will tell you he could frame Rob because he's going to grow to be just under a foot long. **Thomas** (00:38:18:10 - 00:38:20:12): Oh, that's a big fish. **Chip** (00:38:20:14 - 00:38:27:02): That's a big fish. And the last time I was just under a foot long was that time I passed out at that subway on La Cienega. **Thomas** (00:38:27:04 - 00:38:29:19): Yeah, that sandwich was right on top of you, buddy. **Chip** (00:38:29:21 - 00:38:35:15): Just hold me down. Now, here's the cool thing about Jeffrey. Species. Okay? Let me hear it. The soap fish like Jeffrey. Yeah. He releases a toxin. A poisonous toxin from his skin, resembling lathered soap. Hence the name soap fish. **Thomas** (00:38:50:03 - 00:38:50:11): Yeah. **Chip** (00:38:50:12 - 00:39:14:00): Whenever he is stressed out or threatened. Okay, so he's he's just puts out this little foam, and it can it can literally kill or poison other fish that might be predators or what have you. It can kill other fish. Interesting note my skin can also produce a toxin when I'm threatened. That's why I'm no longer welcome at most water parks. 00:39:14:02 – 00:39:15:07 UNRESOLVED – **Thomas** (00:39:15:08 - 00:39:19:18): You do feel very in a state of constant alarm when you're in a bathing suit. **Chip** (00:39:19:20 - 00:39:35:20): I really do now, Jeffrey lives in solitary, in his reef habitat. He stays hidden in the crevices, and he's mostly active at night. Okay. And I think, you know, the scientific term for that is creepy. **Thomas** (00:39:35:22 - 00:39:37:05): Yeah, it's a little creeper. **Chip** (00:39:37:09 - 00:39:43:12): Jeff's a little creep, Jeff. I will say he eats all kinds of fish. Shrimp and crabs. **Thomas** (00:39:43:14 - 00:39:44:06): Yeah. **Chip** (00:39:44:06 - 00:40:02:16): That's why Jeffrey was the official spokesperson for Red lobster from 1993 to 2002, when he was fired after being arrested for some lewd behavior during a weekend with some cheddar biscuits in New Guinea. **Thomas** (00:40:02:18 - 00:40:05:10): Everybody heard about that. I didn't know that was this Jeffrey. **Chip** (00:40:05:12 - 00:40:13:18): That was that Jeffrey. Yeah. So congrats to Jeffrey, the fish of the week. You should be proud. It's nothing to get lathered up about. **Thomas** (00:40:13:18 - 00:40:15:05): Come on, Jeffrey. **Chip** (00:40:15:07 - 00:40:17:08): Soap fish baby. **Thomas** (00:40:17:10 - 00:40:22:12): Dude, Jeffrey sounds like a certified weirdo. Like a certified little weird. **Chip** (00:40:22:12 - 00:40:32:14): He just a little, little weird guy walking around in stripes, just lurking around the corners of the of the coral reefs. Just coming out at night, just walking around. **Thomas** (00:40:32:16 - 00:40:39:20): And, like, I think I think his foam. I think that toxic foam. I think that's like an elevated form of, like, flop sweat. **Chip** (00:40:39:22 - 00:40:43:21): You know? Oh, yeah. He's nervous, a little agitated, and. **Thomas** (00:40:43:23 - 00:40:45:05): He's doing an open mind. **Chip** (00:40:45:05 - 00:40:46:12): Gently foaming soap. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:40:46:15 - 00:40:54:06): Gently foaming. Just knocking the whole room out, wondering why is it big closers not getting the laughs. It's like Jeffrey, they all passed out. **Chip** (00:40:54:08 - 00:40:55:16): Yep. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:40:55:16 - 00:40:57:00): You endangered everybody's. **Chip** (00:40:57:00 - 00:40:58:07): Lives. **Thomas** (00:40:58:09 - 00:41:04:09): Jeff. But thanks. Congratulations Jeffrey on this Jeff. Sunbird podcast. This week. Our hero of the day the deep chip fish of the week's over. What a goddamn it, Jeffrey. Unbelievable, dude. Yeah, but you know what we gotta do? What do we gotta do? We gotta get into some more. 00:41:18:05 – 00:41:18:18 UNRESOLVED – World. Records, baby. Time to crack. 00:41:20:07 – 00:41:21:12 UNRESOLVED – Open the good book. **Chip** (00:41:21:16 - 00:41:31:12): The good book, the Guinness book of World Records, where we spotlight the biggest, the tallest, the greatest, the hog iest, if you will. 00:41:31:14 – 00:41:32:06 UNRESOLVED – **Thomas** (00:41:32:08 - 00:41:33:04): First year of the hog. **Chip** (00:41:33:06 - 00:41:40:08): I guess that this earth has to offer. Thomas, do you want to kick us off? What is your world record this week? **Thomas** (00:41:40:13 - 00:41:44:20): Quick question. Chip, would you rather feel blue or look blue? **Chip** (00:41:44:22 - 00:41:54:05): Ooh, I'm going to say I'm going to say look a little blue. Is that the right answer or wrong. **Thomas** (00:41:54:07 - 00:42:04:07): There's no right or wrong answer. But you took the same answer as a small town in France who looked at their tourism options and blew themselves. 00:42:04:09 – 00:42:05:06 UNRESOLVED – This is the world. Record for most people dressed as. 00:42:07:01 – 00:42:08:11 UNRESOLVED – Smurfs. **Chip** (00:42:08:13 - 00:42:10:11): Yes. **Thomas** (00:42:10:13 - 00:42:22:05): So the small town lander? No, France. And I'm probably saying that wrong. Buddy, they got obsessed with breaking the world record for most people dressed as Smurfs at once. **Chip** (00:42:22:07 - 00:42:24:18): Literally just Smurf mocking the rest of the world. **Thomas** (00:42:24:18 - 00:42:30:05): Smurfs mocking the rest of the world. It's interesting. They did Smurf Mog. That's another town. **Chip** (00:42:30:07 - 00:42:30:20): Oh. **Thomas** (00:42:30:20 - 00:42:43:04): That's great. Well, we'll get into that. How many smurfs do you think showed up? And let me remind you, this is a small town. How many Smurfs showed up in the name of, boosting local tourism? **Chip** (00:42:43:05 - 00:42:45:01): 251. **Thomas** (00:42:45:03 - 00:42:49:15): Not even close. 3076 Smurfs trip. **Chip** (00:42:49:17 - 00:42:59:16): Yes, that's way too many, Thomas. That's. I wouldn't do you think the Guinness Book of World Records? It says. Guys, net we you got to do less. Just do less for me. **Thomas** (00:42:59:16 - 00:43:20:04): Do less. I think that's probably a good advice for the people of lander. Now, That's 3076 French citizens who woke up, covered themselves and blue body paint that ooh la la. We may has just stimulated more than Z economy. **Chip** (00:43:20:06 - 00:43:23:10): Oh, wow. Thomas, when did this happen? **Thomas** (00:43:23:12 - 00:43:27:03): On May 17th, 2025. The town land. **Chip** (00:43:27:05 - 00:43:28:07): What? **Thomas** (00:43:28:09 - 00:43:37:06): Yeah. What? Yep. Yeah. In the peak of Smurf fandom, no movies or television shows have come out in decades. Probably so. **Chip** (00:43:37:06 - 00:43:41:05): Roughly 40 years after any child knows what a Smurf. **Thomas** (00:43:41:05 - 00:43:45:19): Voice. Well, I do think they rebooted it as a movie. And like the 2000s. **Chip** (00:43:45:19 - 00:43:47:15): Maybe that's true. I think they did. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:43:47:17 - 00:43:59:13): But like, it was it. I don't think anybody was clamoring for a lot more Smurfs like I. It's one of those things where I wonder if there's, like, a proprietor, body paint in the community who's like. Well, you know, it would. Show everybody we'll get everybody to come to a lander. No, because. **Chip** (00:44:04:14 - 00:44:06:13): The Blue Man group only, that's only four of them. **Thomas** (00:44:06:13 - 00:44:12:15): So that's only four of them. I mean, there's a couple of the touring production, I guess, but that's, you know, that's not enough for a business. **Chip** (00:44:12:15 - 00:44:15:10): I gotta get you over the, the indigo hump. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:44:17:07 - 00:44:31:16): But, May 17th, 2025, the town of lander, now in Brittany, France, officially assembled 3076 participants dressed as Smurfs, earning the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Smurfs. **Chip** (00:44:31:16 - 00:44:32:12): Excellent. **Thomas** (00:44:32:14 - 00:44:38:17): Well done. The crazy thing is, this was not their first attempt. **Chip** (00:44:38:19 - 00:44:43:08): They previously tried to do it in 2020, but the record. **Thomas** (00:44:43:08 - 00:44:48:01): Was not validated due to some Covid buzz, I'm. Sure. **Chip** (00:44:49:00 - 00:45:00:03): Of course. And then people are like, oh, let's all gather in the town square together as be like, how about I just stay alive and not blue myself? **Thomas** (00:45:00:05 - 00:45:03:09): So they attempted it again in 2023. But the weather didn't cooperate, right? **Chip** (00:45:05:22 - 00:45:10:07): Like the budget, which is strange. Blue, sad people. **Thomas** (00:45:10:09 - 00:45:11:02): Yeah, just. Wet make up sad blue. **Chip** (00:45:12:20 - 00:45:15:16): Peter okay, this is my this is now my favorite town. **Thomas** (00:45:15:18 - 00:45:33:07): But the third time was the charm baby. To qualify, participants had to be in full Smurf costume, including blue painted face and exposed skin. White Smurf had Smurf themed clothing, and Guinness required participants to meet strict costume guidelines to be counted. **Chip** (00:45:33:10 - 00:45:41:19): Wow. They really? Yeah, they're they're no joke. I mean, they're not. Yeah, they're not lenient. The Guinness people and I respect that about them. **Thomas** (00:45:41:21 - 00:45:48:10): It's the whole reason we respect them because it's the only source of truth. They're the only ones who aren't trying to lie to us. **Chip** (00:45:48:11 - 00:45:49:12): Yep, exactly. **Thomas** (00:45:49:14 - 00:45:58:15): They make their money when the truth is incredible. Not by feeding us lies that we have to eat with catch up and steak sauce and fork and. **Chip** (00:45:58:21 - 00:46:00:09): Half ass smurfs walking around. **Thomas** (00:46:00:10 - 00:46:01:23): No, no. **Chip** (00:46:01:23 - 00:46:03:08): That's just people in long johns. **Thomas** (00:46:03:13 - 00:46:06:13): Yeah, I want blue French citizens. 00:46:06:15 – 00:46:08:09 UNRESOLVED – All blue. Completely blue. Yes. Lander, no. Is a real town in northwestern France, with a population of only 16,000 residents, meaning 1 in 5 locals, dressed. Up as a spoof. **Chip** (00:46:22:08 - 00:46:27:19): But that also means four and five locals were like, hell, no, we're not doing this. **Thomas** (00:46:27:23 - 00:46:36:05): Yeah, I still think that's. I mean, try it and try it in Philadelphia, buddy. What kind of what percentage of the population is turning out? **Chip** (00:46:36:07 - 00:46:37:16): About 1%. **Thomas** (00:46:37:18 - 00:46:55:11): I don't I mean, no way. Give me. It's close to one. Dude, this is a very committed town. Yeah. It's true. So this this is the this is the other thing. The previous record was held in Germany making this a legitimate international Smurf showdown, baby. **Chip** (00:46:55:11 - 00:47:03:08): Yeah. This is. Yeah. This is not not to. Yeah. Not to step on our toes. But this is World War three right here. This smurf. World War Smurf is what I guess. **Thomas** (00:47:03:08 - 00:47:05:05): Yeah, it's a cross country lines. **Chip** (00:47:05:05 - 00:47:09:10): I would love to be the next town over and just get the most number of Gargamel together. **Thomas** (00:47:09:10 - 00:47:27:15): That's a real yin and yang situation. That's the darkness. That's the light. But I think you're going to. Here's the thing, Gargamel. Less paint as a costume. But I do think more people would have to shave. Male pattern baldness into their heads. **Chip** (00:47:27:17 - 00:47:31:13): That's that's the, you know, that's that's the price you have to pay. **Thomas** (00:47:31:14 - 00:47:40:22): This is all I have to say to the people of lander now, smurf smurf smurf smurf smurf smurf smurf smurf. Congratulations on make it into.

Oh. **Thomas** (00:48:02:10 - 00:48:08:13): Dude, that is, tasty. Mangoes are so big at my house right now, chip. My daughter loves them. **Chip** (00:48:08:15 - 00:48:12:04): Well, she would really love this one. I gotta say. **Thomas** (00:48:12:09 - 00:48:13:12): Tell me about it. **Chip** (00:48:13:14 - 00:48:35:02): This mango was grown by Colombian farmers. Herman Orlando Novo, a Barrera and Reyna Maria marroquin on their farm in Colombia. This humongous mango measured in at 4.25kg or 9.36 pounds. **Thomas** (00:48:35:02 - 00:48:37:05): That is bigger than a human being at birth. **Chip** (00:48:37:05 - 00:48:48:00): That's exactly that's. I literally have that as a comparison. On here, it's it's it's first of all, it's about ten times the size of your average mango. **Thomas** (00:48:48:00 - 00:48:49:00): Wow. Yeah. I mean, yeah. **Chip** (00:48:49:02 - 00:48:58:21): It's bigger than your average newborn. It's bigger than a small dog. Okay. This is a medicine ball of sweet, sweet goodness. That's a. **Thomas** (00:48:58:21 - 00:48:59:18): Sizable fruit. **Chip** (00:48:59:18 - 00:49:05:03): Right around the time that the lander now people were trying their first attempt at smurfing it up. **Thomas** (00:49:05:06 - 00:49:05:16): Really? **Chip** (00:49:05:16 - 00:49:28:18): 2020 on July 25th, 2020. Wow. This mango in Colombia was measured at 9.36 pounds. Okay. And, the family, shared and ate it afterwards. They shared it with a lot of friends and family. Because as we know, in this case, it takes way more than two to mango. **Thomas** (00:49:28:19 - 00:49:29:02): Yeah. **Chip** (00:49:29:02 - 00:49:45:11): And nuts. And of course, we do know that congratulations to them for growing the world's. And by the way, they did know they saw it growing and like somebody knows I was like this one's a lot bigger. So they sort of babied it made sure that everything you know no, no, no creatures got to eat anything like that. They made it. They made it, you know, made sure it was all good. But I think we all know in our hearts that the heaviest mango will always be 147 pounds. The weight of Mr. Chris Kattan. Yeah, he is the only mango that matters. But other than that, it is these wonderful Colombian farmers that grew a almost 10 pounds mango. And I think that this is a good reminder that for when it comes to world records or for health reasons, always remember to check the size of your mangoes. **Thomas** (00:50:19:07 - 00:50:38:04): Truer words have never been spoken. Shout out to mango farmers everywhere. This is something to aspire to surpass, I think. Yeah, a gleaming gold and standard of what can be accomplished if you really farm the hell out of a nice mango and shout out Chris Carton! Nobody touch of the mango. **Chip** (00:50:38:06 - 00:50:38:15): No! **Thomas** (00:50:38:17 - 00:50:58:20): All right, everybody, trouble in Paradise hotline. That number is (310) 845-6038.
